Deals AoE Geo DMG and sets up a General's War Banner.

General's War Banner
Provides up to 3 buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party at the time of casting:

1 Geo character: Adds "Standing Firm" - DEF Bonus.
2 Geo characters: Adds "Impregnable" - Increased resistance to interruption.
3 Geo characters: Adds "Crunch" - Geo DMG Bonus.

Gorou can deploy only 1 General's War Banner on the field at any one time.
Characters can only benefit from 1 General's War Banner at a time. When a party member leaves the field, the active buff will last for 2s.

Hold
Adjust the location of the skill.

When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 2 Elemental Particles.
The General's War Banner is not considered a Geo Construct and does not have hitbox.
The buff is applied once every 0.3s to characters within the field and lasts for 2s.
Gorou himself counts for the skill's effects, requiring two other Geo characters to make the most from the skill's effects.

Passive Effects

Passive Talent 2, A Favor Repaid: Increases Inuzaka All-Round Defense's Skill DMG by 156% of DEF.

Constellation Effects

Constellation Level 1, Rushing Hound: Swift as the Wind: "When characters (other than Gorou) within the AoE of Gorou's General's War Banner or General's Glory deal Geo DMG to opponents, the CD of Gorou's Inuzaka All-Round Defense is decreased by 2s. This effect can occur once every 10s."
Constellation Level 6, Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty: Increases the CRIT DMG of nearby party members' Geo DMG for 12s after using this talent. The bonus is 10%, 20%, or 40%, depending on the buff level of General's Glory at the time of use.

Displaying his valor as a general, Gorou deals Aoe Geo DMG and creates a field known as General's Glory to embolden his comrades.

General's Glory
This field has the following properties:

Like the General's War Banner created by Inuzaka All-Round Defense, provides buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party. Also moves together with your active character.
Generates 1 Crystal Collapse every 1.5s that deals AoE Geo DMG to 1 opponent within the skill's AoE.
Pulls 1 elemental shard in the skill's AoE to your active character's position every 1.5s (elemental shards are created by Crystallize reactions).

If a General's War Banner created by Gorou currently exists on the field when his ability is used, it will be destroyed. In addition, for the duration of General's Glory, Gorou's Elemental Skill "Inuzaka All-Round Defense" will not create the General's War Banner.
If Gorou falls, the effects of General's Glory will be cleared.

The buff is applied once every 0.3s to characters within the field and lasts for 2s.

Passive Effects

Passive Talent 1, Heedless of the Wind and Weather: "After using Juuga: Forward Unto Victory, all nearby party members' DEF is increased by 25% for 12s."
Passive Talent 2, A Favor Repaid: Increases the skill damage and Crystal Collapse damage by 15.6% of his current DEF.

Constellation Level 2, Sitting Hound: Steady as a Clock: "While General's Glory is in effect, its duration is extended by 1s when a nearby active character obtains an Elemental Shard from a Crystallize reaction. This effect can occur once every 0.1s. Max extension is 3s."
Constellation Level 4, Lapping Hound: Warm as Water: "When General's Glory is in the 'Impregnable' or 'Crunch' states, it will also heal active characters within its AoE by 50% of Gorou's own DEF every 1.5s."
Constellation Level 5, Striking Hound: Thunderous Force: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
Constellation Level 6, Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty: Increases the CRIT DMG of nearby party members' Geo DMG for 12s after using this talent. The bonus is 10%, 20%, or 40%, depending on the buff level of General's Glory at the time of use.
